Description
Albert & Otto is a story about a boy and his magical bunny who journey together trying to save a lost loved one. They must work together to overcome the challenges and puzzles thrown their way. Essentially a cinematic 2D puzzle platformer with action elements the player is required use both Albert and Otto in creative ways to solve the challenges. At first Otto can fit through tight gaps, hold down pressure plates and power switches and Albert can shoot and jump while some skills such as the double jump are only available when Otto is in Albert’s bag. As the game progresses the player will unlock new skills such as Levitation and controlling electrical currents. Although Albert & Otto at first seems like a journey to save the damsel in distress, it is anything but and we soon learn that our hero Albert might just be hiding something from us, or rather, himself.
History
